Western Buddism

I was in the process of writing the script for my Global Warming chapter when I inadvertently found myself in the middle of what I thought was a ludicrous argument. I tried to listen rationally and understand where this lady was coming from... and the result was a real feeling of frustration as not only was my 'question' not answered, but I think she only served to illustrate the point she was arguing against. Instead of debating the point I tried to channel my thoughts into this script instead, and ask the youtube public what they thought...

This is a photo of my buddha tatt which is 'apparently' sacrilegious.. even though I dont claim to be buddhist and it in fact has an entirely different meaning to me altogether..

This is a new social experiment ive been thinking about doing for some time now, where I ask you the 'real ' people of this world, as opposed to the "experts" on our mainstream media networks, about the real issues which face us all, the issues our leaders have nightmares about, the issues that provoke controversy and emotional reactions in many of us, the issues that divide populations and can end a politicians career overnight, hence why we rarely see them debated in the public arena.

I personally aim to rise above my own prejeduces to give every argument an even playing field so we can better understand how we really feel, and to see if we're civilised enough to discuss them in a sensible and mature fashion without the refereeing of a Leader of the House, like what is required in our sometimes embarrassing Parliament, where the real issues are masterfully dodged and manipulated, and truth somehow gets lost in the political minefield of bureaucracy, lies and false promises.

The following are some of these issues I’m considering for discussion.
